Summary
Kiriona Gaia is stuck back in her undead body, with her father and her sister prince, on a ship full of Cohort soldiers who salute her and stare on the way to the front lines of the war. She has the depression, which seems to be genetic; Ianthe is hiding and plotting, which is probably also genetic; and every time she tries to sleep, she dreams about Harrow.
A canon-divergent au set during the events of Nona the Ninth that asks: what if Ianthe had access to a vat womb? And what if her bad choices became Kiriona's problem?

Summary
She feels like he’s peeling every layer of her being, one by one by one. And when he gets to her bones, he’ll find something she’ll never be able to run away from.
“…you,” the stranger says, his hands flexing into fists. Unclenching again. “You are…”
Gideon holds her breath. She doesn’t know why she thinks so, but it seems to her that Harrow does as well.
The corner of the man’s lips twitches up in a smile.
“You’re the spitting image of your mother.”

Or: what if Pyrrha rescued Gideon from the Ninth as a child?

Summary
Pyrrha has too much to worry about with her shitty apartment, her shitty job, and her supposed partner who's never even home, to care about John Gaius anymore. She's done owing him, and being owned by him; as soon as Gideon finishes this job they're both done and she'll be free forever.
And then John drops his daughter off on her doorstep.

Summary
Will Graham is a twitchy, snappy, aggressive mess of an alpha who can find neither peace in his work, nor satisfaction in his sexual exploits. He’s too rough for most omegas and betas, and has never felt comfortable in his own skin during sex, always caught unhappily between the sleeping violence that his work seems to instill in him, and a bone-deep desire to just be able to let it all go somehow.
Hannibal Lecter is an accomplished surgeon, renowned psychiatrist, and overall a powerful and widely respected alpha within circles both academic and socialite. He’s also known for brutally bitching overconfident younger alphas.
Wow, I wonder where this could lead!
